(August 2020) I just found out that a good friend has been offered her ”dream job”. I am so excited for her, but at the same time, I'm a little sad for me. Due to the post stroke fatigue, I had to leave my "dream job" on February 14th. It took quite a while for me to listen to my body and my neurologist. Right after the stroke all I could think about, what propelled me to speak and to drive was the thought that I would go to work again. I only was able to work for 2-3 hours per day, three days per week (up to 10 hours). I came home and could not do much else. I was in counseling and we were working on stating what was most important to me now. What I wanted for the rest of my life. Ultimately, what the neurologist said was what made me resigned to give up my dream job because it was affecting my health and my lifestyle.
